Specifying the List of Items for a Popup 6
You specify the item list for protoPicker , protoTextList ,
protoPopUpButton , proptoPopupInPlace , and PopUpMenu in
an array. In the simplest case, this is an array of strings, but it can contain
different kinds of items:
simple string A string. You can control the pickability of a text item or add
a mark to the display by specifying the text in a frame, as
described in Table 6-1 (page 6-38).
bitmap A bitmap frame or a NewtonScript frame, as returned from
the
GetPictAsBits compile-time function. You can
control the pickability of the item or add a mark to the
display by placing the bitmap in a frame, as described in
Table 6-1 (page 6-38).
icon with string A frame that specifies both a string and an icon, as described
in Table 6-2 (page 6-38).
separator line An instruction to display a line that runs the width of the
picker. To display a dashed gray line, specify the symbol
'pickSeparator . For a solid black line, specify the
symbol 'pickSolidSeparator .
two-dimensional grid
A frame describing the grid item, as described in Table 6-3
(page 6-39).
If all the items in the picker list cannot fit into the view, the user can scroll the list
to see more items.
Table 6-1 describes the frame used to specify simple string and bitmap items in the
picker list.
